Rachel Maddow on how FOX & the right wing noise machine create a lie

This segment by Rachel Maddow is extremely well done. Watch how the GOP noise machine created an entire lie out of thin air: the notion that the President’s visit abroad is going to cost $200 million a day. It’s insane. It’s a lie. And it’s all the rage on FOX. (H/T Alvin at Pam’s House Blend.)
